The do generate some heat.

For power it depends on how it is tested. An LCD will draw the same amount of power at all times.

A Plasma draws different amounts of power depending on how bright or dark the scene is. Watching a movie like Dark Night a Plasma will draw less power than a LCD. Watching something with a lot of bright scenes it will draw more power.
